In the mid-1970s, David Kolb published works thatcategorized human learning styles and how they respond to various types of experientiallearning.2 At least three out of Kolb’s four learning styles benefitted most through “concreteexperience” and “active experimentation.”2 Furthermore, Schumann, et. al., reported that manystudents who leave engineering do so because of a lack of interest in the topics.3 In 2010, in aneffort to increase retention rates among engineering programs, the National Science Foundationsponsored a project called “Engage.”4 One of the three objectives of this project is to increaseretention by “Integrating into coursework everyday examples in engineering (E3s).”4 Also, asampling of recent papers that studied the

Few examples of other types of reflection activities (e.g.,graphing, sketching) have been presented or studied in the engineering education literature. In this project, which is part of a larger investigation into high performance design teams, weexplored the use of graphing and other visual techniques for recording designers’ perceptions oftheir design processes and products.

INTRODUCTION This research paper investigates predictors of engineering identity at the beginning of afirst-year engineering course as part of a larger project to understand continued enrollment inengineering courses. Retaining interested undergraduate students in engineering tracks requires aclear understanding of the predictors and influences on continued enrollment in engineeringcourses.

For further discussion and definitions of disability termsrelevant to this study, please see Appendix F.The authors identify as white, cis-gender, female, invisibly disabled librarians who supportSTEM disciplines at R1 universities. They chose to use identity-first language (disabled person),as opposed to person-first language (person with disabilities) in the survey instrument used inthis research project. This aligns with their personal preferences and the language conventionstypically used in Disability Justice scholarship [19], [20], [21], [22]. In this publication, they useboth
, foster motivation and psychological growth. These psychological needs areautonomy, competence, and relatedness. Autonomy involves being and acting in harmony withone's integrated sense of self and values as well as feeling that one has ownership over one’sactions. In educational environments, autonomy is visible when learning environments offerlearners opportunities for choice, self-direction, and flexibility rather than imposing strict or rigiddirection and demands. Learners are thus motivated when they have choice in their academicpathways, courses, learning topics, classroom projects, etcetera based on their interests andaspirations. Competence involves mastering tasks and learning new skills and involves a sense ofaccomplishment derived from

Some see thesetools as a means of access—helping raise all students, especially those from disadvantagedbackgrounds, to a minimum level of knowledge [15]—which allows more students to attain morecomplex skills, such as critical thinking, application, and synthesis [12, 16].In chemical engineering, educators have used ChatGPT to improve the

Her first was her MIT doctoral thesis project, unlocking the gastronomical genome of a Vibrio bacterium. For some of the Vibrio’s meals, she collected seaweed from the rocky, Atlantic coastline at low tide. (Occasionally, its waves swept her off her feet.) During grad school, Alison was also a fellow in MIT’s Biological Engineering Communication Lab. Helping students share their science with their instructors and peers, she began to crave the ability to tell the stories of other scientists, and the marvels they discover, to a broader audience.
